    Welcome!

    Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am excited to introduce myself as the new Dean of Students at Rice Elementary School. It is an honor to join this incredible community, and I am eager to embark on this journey with you.

    My Education and Professional Background

    I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Northern Illinois University and began teaching in Illinois in 1999. I spent 20 years teaching kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grades. After stepping out of the classroom, I served as one of the Chandler Unified School District's Math Academic Coaches for the past four years. In addition to my Bachelor's degree, I also hold a Master's degree in Education Curriculum and Instruction from Benedictine University and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership from Arizona State University.

    My Educational Philosophy

    As we begin this new school year together, I am committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive. My educational philosophy centers on recognizing and celebrating each student's unique strengths, providing personalized attention, and encouraging a love for learning.

    We strive to engage students with innovative teaching methods and real-world applications, ensuring they not only understand core concepts but also develop critical thinking skills and a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. Our goal is for every student to feel valued, respected, and inspired to reach their full potential.

    I look forward to working closely with you to ensure a rewarding and fulfilling school year for your children. Together, let's make this school year one of growth, discovery, and achievement.
